Parents caught in a physical fight? Need input and closure please?

My boyfriend's parents fight like that too and sometimes they get physical. Mainly it's her hitting him but sometimes he hits back to defend himself. The cops have had to been involved before but not since then. Honestly if I was in your shoes, I would just let them fight their own battles.

The only time I would call 911 is if one of them is in imminent danger or if there's injuries involved. But if they're just slapping each other around and bopping around the walls then I'd MYOB. Then again, domestic violence doesn't occur in my household so I really don't know what I'd do.

Basically if it's a life or death situation or there's injuries then call 911. If not, don't waste their time. I remember when my mom and her boyfriend got into a fight. She had lied to me and told me he hit her and that she felt her life was in danger. So I called 911...for NOTHING!

She was just pissed and wanted to make a scene. He never hit her. It was only words. We had to convince the police that I was just "overreacting cause I was scared" which worked thankfully and no arrests were made. Calling 911 is ALWAYS a last resort.

Don't call them unless you're 100% sure police intervention is what you need. If it's just a little argument that happened to turn into slaps then you'll just stir up a bunch of trouble as police will likely arrest both parents (in some states, this is a law) and you'll be placed in temporary foster care if you're under 18.

See? A mountain out of a molehill. 911 is for life threatening emergencies only. Not non-violent domestic spats. Hopefully this doesn't happen anymore though, as I'd be pretty scared too if I had to be around that. Good luck :)

I don't know how old you are...but it's not okay Your gut instincts are right. The nearest I came to this was when a neighbor was smacking the crap out of his girlfriend. I called the cops. I don't know how old you are...high school? And do you have younger siblings? I thik step one...talk to a trusted teaher or counselor at school.

Mind your own business. Or you'll be given up for adoption.

Next time this happens, please don't say anything just call the police. This can easily get out of hand and someone can end up dead for a silly argument. Get outside (to be safe) and call the police straight away.

i wouldnt have told them you were calling, i wouldve just called
